What to know before visiting Tattershall Tip

1Heading Towards the Kirkby Lane Site

Located out in the rural stretch near the former gravel pits, the route is a scenic drive. Keep a sharp eye out for the entrance gates, as they can be easily missed if you are driving too quickly along the country roads.

2Mandatory Address Screenings

To ensure regional funds are used appropriately, visitors must prove their local ties. Presenting a piece of official correspondence, like a recent water bill or your driver's licence, is the quickest way inside.

3Authorising Larger Rides

Planning to rock up in a flatbed or dragging a sizable twin-axle trailer? The attendants require a pre-approved digital certificate, which you must secure online before leaving your driveway.

4Dressing for the Job

The concrete floor is often scattered with sharp fragments. Wearing robust, enclosed footwear is a must to prevent nasty injuries while you walk around this busy rubbish tip.

5No Room for Commercial Traders

The designated skips are funded solely for private domestic use. Plumbers, roofers, and independent builders cannot use the site to dispose of their daily industrial output.

6The Charitable Handover

Why scrap a perfectly functional dining chair? Direct any usable homewares to the dedicated salvage point so they can be rehomed by local charities, helping both the planet and the community.

7Excluded Hazardous Substances

Bringing toxic or highly volatile components onto the grounds is completely forbidden. Items like industrial asbestos or pressurized helium tanks will be rejected outright at the barrier.
